PLEASANTVILLE, N.J. — Players and spectators ran for cover Friday night when a gunman opened fire at a New Jersey high school football game, wounding two people.
One of the wounded was a young boy, who was airlifted to a children's hospital in Philadelphia "with some serious injuries," Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon Tyner said.
Panicked spectators and some of the players knocked down a fence in their haste to escape the confines of the field.
"It was mayhem, literally people coming in waves running away," said Jonathan Diego, who played for the Pleasantville team in 1984.
